Chapter 144: Outwitting and Annihilating the Enemy
After the battle situation changed, Liang Moqing left only one squadron to besiege the remnants of the enemy according to the order of the headquarters, and the rest of the men and horses went to meet the reinforcements of the devil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Now, a squadron and the newly recruited troops, a total of more than 300 people, are besieging the same number of enemies in the Dragon King Temple.
Guo Zhenru didn't expect that he retreated to the Dragon King Temple, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, although he temporarily avoided the end of annihilation, but he couldn't rush out again. A few machine guns can block the wooden bridge, the only access road, not to mention a few grenadiers, ready to blow up the bridge to block the enemy in case it can't be defended.
Gao Rongli touched his beard and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Captain, listen, is this a cannon from a distance?" ”
Lu Peng listened for a while, shook his head and said, "It can't be so fast, right?" ”
Lu Peng and Gao Rongli were obviously a little anxious, the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance made the two of them restless, Lu Peng sent people to inquire about the battle situation several times, and resisted the impulse.
Suddenly, a fierce gunfire rang out from the position, mixed with trembling shouts. The enemy's light and heavy weapons in the Dragon King Temple opened fire together, covering Zhang Sanyou and his troops to break through.
"Damn ×, Lao Tzu is annoying, and they are here to join in the fun." Gao Rongli stomped his foot violently, pulled out his pistol, and said to Lu Peng: "I'll go and see, I have to beat the rabbit cubs back." ”
"If you can't do it, you will blow up the bridge, and if you don't fight them, the battlefield on the most important side has become a secondary aspect now." Lu Peng instructed uneasily.
…………
There was a loud gunfire in the distance, and Mu Gu could hear it clearly, the enemy might be attacking Guo Zhenru's department, and he knew that he had to hurry.
The mortar bombardment began, and a squad of devils crawled forward with skillful tactical maneuvers, light and heavy machine guns roaring and providing cover.
There were no guns or cannons on the mounds, and there were no human figures in sight, only the mud and dust kicked up by shells and bullets, and the smoke of gunpowder.
At 400 meters, 300 meters, the grenadiers of the attacking squad also began to fire, and puffs of smoke and dust rose from behind the mound.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, the mortar stopped shelling, and the grenadiers also stopped firing. The infantry continued to advance, fifty meters, thirty meters...... Under the surprised gaze of Kitani, the infantry ascended the mound and occupied the enemy's position.
The gunfire in the distance was still intense, but there was an unexpected silence here. The expected desperate resistance did not, or even resist, which made Mu Gu puzzled and hesitated.
Occupying a hill that is not high and not big, the leader of the devil squad was also very surprised. He held up the binoculars and looked at the flat crop field in front of the post, and in April, just green, a shallow trench suddenly appeared, and the freshly turned out soil formed a sharp contrast with the surroundings.
More than 300 meters on the left side of the hill is a small forest, and on the right side is a small depression overgrown with weeds. Behind the trenches and in the woods, there were figures shaking, presumably an ambush of the enemy. Further afield, well, more than two miles away, was a mound with a denser figure on it.
Abandoning this mound, the enemy wanted to lure the Imperial army into the flat and open crop fields below, and the enemy in the trenches and woods was flanked by the enemy. The Devil Squad Leader quickly made a judgment, and was deeply amused by the enemy's pretending to be cunning and naïve.
Da Da Da ...... Smack, smack...... Machine guns and rifles suddenly rang out, and bullets were fired from behind the trenches and in the woods, firing fiercely at the devils on the mound.
The leader of the devil squad immediately led the soldiers to lie down and hide, and while firing back, he issued a flag, asking the team behind him to come up, or ask Mugu for instructions on how to act, or transfer mortars to attack the enemy.
Mugu, who received the flag, led his team to catch up with the mound, shelled and occupied it, and he thought that there were no more traps like mines on the mound. What's more, he really has to observe it himself before he can decide on his next move.
On the mound, the devil's firepower increased suddenly, so that the soldiers behind the trenches could not raise their heads, and the shooting in the grove stopped.
But this is only the beginning, in the depression that the devil did not really pay attention to, the ten flying thunder cannons have already been loaded, adjusted the angle, and under the camouflage cover of weeds, they opened their mouths and aimed at the earthen hill.
Feeling that there were enough devils on the mound, the two artillerymen who were lurking lit the twisted medicine and squatted in the weeds with their ears covered.
Kitani observed, feeling that the enemy's field deployment was really a bit ridiculous. Is there a more favorable soil hill that does not defend it, and runs to the crops to defend the trenches? Or is the enemy trying to delay time and take a step back, and the mound in the distance may be another position for a short blockade, right?
There was a sudden continuous muffled sound in the depression, and more than a dozen cannonball-shaped explosive packs suddenly flew up in the air, crossing the arc of death in the sky, and falling on the small earthen hill in the surprised and puzzled eyes of the devil.
The violent explosion was like a burst of thunder, and the smoke of gunpowder rolled up wildly, and the flying mud and dust flooded the earthen hill and obscured people's vision. The earth shook violently at the sound of explosions, and the smoke that filled the air darkened the sky around them.
The improved standard flying thunder barrel is thickened and lengthened, and the caliber is reduced to 150mm, but the performance has been greatly improved. It can send 5 kilograms of explosives shells out of 400 meters, and 10 kilograms can also hit more than 300 meters.
What is the concept of five kilograms of explosives and how powerful is it? Just imagine that the charge of a grenade is only about fifty grams, and it can be basically converted.
Even if the accuracy is still not as good as that of professional artillery, it can be compensated for by the killing range. Basically, within a radius of fifteen meters of the explosion, even if you are not hit by shrapnel, you will be shocked to death by the shock wave. Within thirty or fifty meters, stun and deafness are common.
The smoke gradually cleared, and there were no more active devils on the earthen hill the size of a football field. Even the devils who were moving towards the mound and were a little farther away, including the artillerymen and ammunitionmen who operated the mortars, were dizzy and dumbfounded by the continuous explosions.
The battlefield was quiet for a short time and completely, and although some of the "imperial troops" on the mound were not killed, most of them were stunned and buried in the mud, and the vast majority of them never heard a sound again!
The loud trumpet of the charge sounded, and the soldiers, who were shocked by the explosion, came to their senses, and rushed out of the trenches and the woods with a shout, and ran towards the mound. Hundreds of meters away, many of the fighters were still sick and disgusted by the tremor of the explosion.
The battle was short but not fierce, and even if the devils on the mound survived, they were weak, deaf and dizzy, lost most of their combat effectiveness, and were killed like chopping melons and vegetables. More than 20 devils who had not yet reached the earthen hill fled in panic with the artillery, but they only lived a little longer.
Song Qingpu's team had already chased after him, and was dealing with the wounded soldiers and a small number of guards left by the devils due to the mine attack in the distance. (To be continued.) )
